The smallest luxury A-class you can buy - downsizing your motorhome never looked so good!

Interesting but lacks storage. Handy size for a small drive.

More space you have the more crap you bring?

I think motorhome owners get a bit carried away with 'essentials'.

I find it strange there were so many squeaks and rattles in a brand new vehicle. Nice van tho

Essential for me a scooter in the garage but agree not all need that much storage but I’m not a weekend user.

Scooter on a tow bar is an alternative. Or the bus 🤫😉

Nice bit of luxury if like me you have limited parking and tight access. I agree that the more storage you have the more "stuff" you bring most of it returns home unused.

Having moved from a 7.8 to a 5.9m van I can honestly say we have as much and possibly more storage, its just laid out differently and takes a bit of adjustment to the way you carry stuff and the overall size of some things. Still carrying a lot of crap that I think I will need, but haven't needed in ten years of motorhoming lol

My new one is 5.8 A-class, although early days it has everything in it we need.

Amen to that, we're currently on the last few weeks of a four month trip and I can honestly say probably 60% of the stuff we have on board had yet to be used.
We could open a market stall with all the clothes and have more pots pans and other cooking utensils that the chef at the Ritz and I won't mention all the bits bobs and tools I brought just incase the mh needs a bit of maintenance or repair.
We've been at this game for 17 years and before that caravanning since the late 1980's.
Will we ever learn 🙄🙄🙄🙄
